draft? Based on his pro day numbers he should have been at worst a mid round pick. BP 24 - That is two more than Pugh who has short arms. Vertical - 41 matches David Wilson. His 3 cone drill of 6.87 beats Wilson's of 7.09. Did he have some off the field issues or was it the lack of production that hurt him?
It was a bad fit for sure, but what is stunning is that Cox wasn't even a guy who played specials. There is no reason a guy with his size/speed who wasn't playing wouldn't be on any specials, but he wasn't. He also was further up the depth chart in the beginning of his career and then fell off, which is a little weird.
Best decision he ever made was leaving to go to Umass. I believe he got his degree at michigan, so more power to him for taking advantage of a free education and utilizing the transfer rule to get some playing time. He would not have made the nfl had he stayed at michigan, so good for him for making a great decision.
If you think teams simply go to pro days, use those measurements and draft you have a tremendous amount to learn about player evaluation.
So far it appears they did their jobs very well, cause Cox looks like a playa.
Thanks for the inside dope from his U Mich days too, Wolverine.

Can't make it up!
Does hustle on specials.
I think he makes the team, at any rate. I am not sure I agree with JonC that he runs with more power than Brown. Not saying I disagree - just think jury may be out due to not enough data to compare.
